Margarito's eye struggling to heal, career may be in jeopardy

[Gandalf]

I'm not one for karma or any such imaginary concepts, but the fact that Margarito is potentially out of a career due to a facial injury after being banned for attempting to load his gloves is kind of ironic. I don't really care either way if Margarito continues or not, but he has been extremely fortunate to recieve a massive payday against Manny. He didn't deserve that fight, so what more could he have asked for. Might as well invest prudently and then sail into the sunset.

As things stand that Pac fight should really have been stopped much earlier. I don't know why the ref didn't do so. The respionsibility lies with him. "How many fingers?" he asks while the one good eye is free to count them. Sigh.

The fight with Pac Man was brilliant and he made him fight every second of that fight. Pac did damage that eye socket very badly and I was thinking he needed more time to recover.

Ballsey! Robert Garcia blurted out, pseudo praising his now turned grotesque fighter, Antonio Margarito, as the Mexican junior middleweight fighter grabs a seat, quite unsure of his whereabouts.

From the looks... likewise unsure where to even land his tired self, beaten to a pulp but somehow still eliciting a continued praise as if he is the one administering the ass-kicking!

Given a few more precious seconds, catching his wits, out of the 45-second respite in between rounds, he begins to ponder, only this time, he was unsure of a more important matter...will there be tomorrow, still?

Ahead before him and his, after this terrible beating, what lies ahead...

In the background, under a tone of encouragement, he still faintly hears how remarkable the courage he is displaying. ....Deep inside though, he feels quite the opposite, he was scared shitless! Not borne out of immediacy, but for much later... what will become of all this!

Under his breath, words that never found a voice, "please, Robert, stop this beating, I've already had enough". He looks around pleadingly, to the referee, and to his corner. No reprieve. Repeats the lookout a few more... till the bell rang signifying the need for readiness to a further beating!

Fiction!

What did you expect? It's Laurence Cole. The guy shouldn't be allowed to step into a ring again. I somehow knew he'd mess things up, again.. for the 100th time in his "career". Blame goes to Garcia too.
